The 15th anniversary of the Saki series is coming up early next year and the publisher is preparing to commemorate the event in a few ways. For example, there will be a Saki-related exhibition in Tokyo for several days in January and February. New volumes for all series will also be released in January, including the first volumes for MakoMeshi and Saki:re. There's also the book with Ritz's illustrations mentioned in an earlier post. Anyway, probably nothing too interesting for most of you but just to let you know this is a thing. Also, the reason the spinoffs are skipping an issue next month. On the other hand, Saki returns December 18th. Toki should be up in a few days.
The picture below is the promo art for the 15th anniversary commemoration exhibit. Neither chapter has a proper cover so let's use this. Besides, school-age Hayari drawn by Ritz is super rare.
Thanks!
ReplyDelete...is it me, or is ritz getting worse at drawing big boobs?
ReplyDeleteI'm not that good at anatomy, but to me it feels like the problem is not the boobs, but the rest. Some legs seem a bit longer than normal, while the trunk seems smaller (look at distance between Nodoka's boobs and bellybutton).
DeleteThanks for the chapter. To be honest I find it slightly regretful that Yuki couldn't countinue winning. After all in a wave once one is at the bottom it can only rise again. I wanted to see this concept in her winning streak. It would have been a far greater evidence of the dangerousness of Yuki's East 1.
ReplyDeleteAnd I find the Achiga chapter too fast. The East 2 and 3 should have been further elaborated. Especially Teri's turn, it could have been given more pages or an entire chapter to it (for example: when she didn't discard Kuro's winning tile or when she disrupted Yuki's draws).
Thx for translations!
